Spookane as it appears in Mother.

Spookane (Japanese: ハロウイン Halloween) is a town in Mother. The western portion of the town has been abandoned and is covered with hostile creatures during the course of the game. It's also infamous for having a ghost house, where the fourth melody can be found within.

Overview

Spookane is divided into two areas; the Spookane Downtown to the west, and the Spookane Residential to the east. The Spookane Downtown consists of ten multi-level buildings and a train station. The area is covered with several enemies and is therefore unpopulated, tough the hotel and the hospital are open for business and are also the only buildings enterable in this portion of the town. If they choose to stay a night at the hotel, the hotel worker will be revealed to be a a Starman after Ninten and his friends awaken the day after, and once he has been defeated the hotel will be left abandoned.

All the inhabitants reside in the Spookane Residential, which consists of eight villas and the Rosemary Manor — which often is referred to as a ghost house. None of the buildings except for the manor can be entered, so Ninten can only interact with the people outside. Several inhabitants talk and give information about the ghost house and the monsters which have taken over half of the town, there's also a boy who mentions that a ghost has appeared in his house, but that it decided to leave because of the limited size of his room. In the northwestern part of the Spookane Residential, a jolly and humming postman can also be found wondering what the Rosemarys' new address is; a girl who presumably is the daughter of the Rosemarys, who is standing on a cliff nearby, tells Ninten to tell the postman that the Rosemarys have moved far away. The Rosemarys themselves can be found in the eastern part of the town and mention that they've chosen to live outside as a result of the ghosts which have been appearing in their house. Their son, Buggerror Rosemary, has been renamed to whatever name the player has chosen to give Ninten because of unknown reasons; the mother will give Ninten the key to the manor in hope that he'll bring the building into control. The Rosemary Manor itself is located far away in the northeastern part of the town.

A woman in the center of the residential area will give Ninten three hints for $1000 each. In her first hint she will reveal the whereabouts of the fourth melody, in her second one she'll tell about the individual who will give Ninten the item to make Ana join their party, and in her third one she tells about a guitar player in Magicant who reveals the location of all the eight melodies.

Trivia

  • Spookane is probably a portmanteau of the words "spook", a reference to the ghosts haunting the town, and "Spokane", which is an actual city in America.
